Something different for #2 daughter's 35th birthday.
I get whole pork loins on sale and cut them up into roasts, chops, cutlets and for Canadian bacon. I dragged this one out of the freezer.
The victim; 3.25 pounds.

Sliced it round and round, laid out flat. A REAL sharp knife helps here.

Some of the stuffing. Sliced garlic and spinach what went for a 20 second ride in the microwave to make it limp.

Added the sliced garlic and sprinkled with the Penzey's.

Put on some mild provolone trimmed to fit.

The spinach went on top of the cheese.

Put on some ham and added more Penzey's.

All rolled up and tied. Sprinkled on more Penzey's. Wrapped in plastic and back in the fridge for a couple of hours.

Took the loin out of the fridge and preheated the OBS to 225oF. Put the loin in the OBS and added 2:40 worth of apple pucks. The danged puck advance ceased to function after about an hour or so. The manual advance still worked so all wasn't lost. Just ended up with a little less smoke than I would have liked.
Took it to 145oF in the OBS.

Moved it from the OBS to a 375o oven to an IT of 155. Removed it and let it rest while finishing the other stuff.
The first slices were looking good.

Can we eat yet? Mashed taters, peas and onions and some light gravy.

It got rave reviews. Next time I'll try to get more stuffing in there and maybe pound it some to make it a little flatter.
I like the Arizona Dreaming Seasoning and there's no salt in it so I don't have to worry about it drawing moisture out of the meat.
Yes Sir!

Try some crumbled smoked sausage in there. I didn't have any on hand :(
